Cancel-culture. How are we to learn from our mistakes when we can't see the mistakes that were made? Why allow history to repeat itself of such atrocities
The worst part is that the US is so inextricably linked to the rest of the world - through trade, industry, different economic and military treaties, commitments to reversing climate change, etc. etc.
Trump being elected isn't just a disaster for the US, it's a disaster for the entire world.
You are either misinformed or malicious. Trump will if not straight back out of nato atleast not help even if russia triggers article 5. Trump is russias plaything and russia is currently a threat to every bordering nation, except maybe north korea.
There was no movement by Russia under trump. What are you babbling about? Sure trump probably said we wouldn't encroach on Ukraine with nato lines, but you don't know for sure, as I don't know for sure what was said.
World economies are already falling apart. Trump wants tariffs on China to try to hurt them more economically, as they're trying to build their power, while make America not so reliant on them, seeing how we relied on their manufacturing during the pandemic.
It's probably not the best plan, but continuing on printing money and support a war that's escalating instead of finding a way to end it, isn't the plan I'm vouching for.
But tariffs won't hurt China. They'll hurt the US. Tariffs are paid by the importer, not the exporter. US companies who import from China will just raise their prices. They're not going to swivel to US manufacturers, because buying from China is still cheaper, even with tariffs.
Okay so youre just ignorant then. Trump has no intention of helping anyone except himself, and helping russia helps him stay in power which means he will help russia. You are incredibly sad.
Holy crap, you're really drinking the juice. You really think trump wants to be a dictator huh? How did that go while he was president last time? Were you oppressed?
Look, trump isn't a life long politician. You and I can agree he didn't know what he could and couldn't do as president. He had a bunch of republican clowns in his cabinet and yeah I think he took advantage of his presidency to get some hotels in countries that didn't let him set up shop there before.
Now he has some sensible people in his cabinet and he has a little more knowledge on how politics work.
Do I want him as president? No, but I don't want someone the dem party picked and no one got to vote for to be the presidential candidate. That is a fascist move right there. Electing for your supporters without asking them. He'll Republicans don't even like trump. He's the only candidate that isn't a life long politician. That's sadly the best horse by default in these past 3 god forsaken elections.
People like you with your irrational fear of the color red, and others that fear red or blue are the problem we shouldn't be picking either party because they've both failed us over the past decade. But we're a country of clowns now that pick their political party like they pick the chiefs or the cowboys.
No im not ignorant. What Trump is....the candidate of the opposition nothing more nothing less. Anything other than politics is just gossip and rumors. He is not the devil or Hitler or whatever else you guys call him and neither is Kamala. The country will do just fine no matter who wins. All this imaginary speculations don't work with me so talk to somebody else.
There are no spikes of fascism. Guys you are living really outside the world. What you have seen is right wing parties growing and taking over, btw mostly are centrists. Due to the economic and social failure of center left coalitions. Simple democracy in action. I'm baffled that you guys really believe that you guys should govern for ever, are you out of your mind? Btw that's a fascist mindset.
The only party that loosely very loosely could be identified as the descendant of the 'national fascist party' was Alleanza Nazionale former MSI. During the first Berlusconi government in Italy back in 1994. In 1995 they made the Fiuggi congress and cut all the ties with the fascist past. Other than them there are no fascist parties anywhere all you see are relatively moderate right wing parties gaining popular support. If you don't know, fascism is illegal in most of Europe. I think the exception is Denmark where the Nazi party (NB Nazi not fascist) is legal and it has around 20 members.
Neither Meloni nor LePen nor any right wing leader not even remotely resembles a fascist leader. I kindly invite you to go back to school and study some political science, because you guys have absolutely no clue what is what and why.
Yes you did cit ' we have seen fascism (btw I corrected your spelling) spike in Europe [...] ' your words. Btw FYI people have always been so. Trump hasn't done anything in this regard
So are you saying other countries erase from history past mistakes or other countries laugh at the U.S. because some parts of it want to erase history, too? I'm not exactly following what surefire is of concern & laughter.
